Ella thought her ears could be deceiving when she heard the last statement of the Death lord.
She belonged to no one, most especially him, she said within herself. She was finding it hard to breath from the close proximity of the Death lord.
The Death lord swiftly inhaled the delicious scent from Ella's skin, he felt the urge to nuzzle his nose on her neck and bite on her skin lightly.
Ella stumbled back lightly, almost loosing her balance but she held still. She bit on her bottom lips with her eyes staring at her heels.
The Death lord noticed how uncomfortable she was and for some reason he felt a tinge of pain in his chest. He remembered his mother's word; maybe she was right, he said within himself.
Placing his finger on Ella's lip, he removed her bottom lips from her mouth. "Don't do that," He whispered. Ella felt a jolt of electricity down her spine when the Death lo
Ella felt the urge to laugh out loud at the Death lords statement. She felt the Death lord might be sick or the person in front of her could be an imposter. Suddenly she shouted, "An imposter! An imposter!" The Death lord quickly placed his palm on her mouth, keeping her shut.Ella struggled to get out of the Death lords grip and she tried biting his palm which he used to cover her mouth too. The death lord was amazed by her fierce attitude, he wondered where she suddenly got the strength from and he wondered why she was shouting."What's wrong with you?" He asked her.After some seconds, he removed his palm from her mouth. "Why were you screaming?" He asked her."You are not the Death lord and I will expose you!" She said and screamed once more, "An
The sound of his name coming from Ella's mouth brought goosebumps on his skin. He felt a chilled breeze graze him and all he saw was paradise.His name sounded so sweet coming from her mouth, never had he been called so nicely before. Her rhythmic voice would obviously take away any pain in this world.Ella lashes fluttered and the Death lord fell in love with her eyes once again. His eyes glancing at her face, enjoying them as if they were delectable food or sweet drinks.Ella suddenly felt insecured from the look she got from the Death lord, she wondered if she had something on her face. "Is...there something on my face?" She asked him."Call my name one more time," he requested in a soft and calm voice. Ella wondered if he had hearing issues to not have heard her earlier. She was starting to get irritated by his behavior."Francis." She called his name out once more. The Death lord clos
The big hall used for the celebration for the festival of the moon was filled up already with prominent people. Men and women dressed in the finest materials looking effortlessly good and extravagant at the same time.There were supposed to be twleve governors but because the governor of lake also known as the south was away, there were only eleven governors present for the festival leaving their right hand men to guide their positions till they came back.Although not everyone were given the opportunity to attend the celebration hosted by the Death lord, they all celebrated in their homes and whenever they were.Ella sat down on the animal skinned chair as she waited for the Death lord. After some seconds the Death lord appeared looking strikingly handsome
The governor of the east readjusted himself on his seat well after the Death lord had spoken. "It seems non of you thought of anything concerning the Darkards and how to deal with them, right?" The Death lord asked, his words were directed to all the eleven governors of Narlands."Next week, we attack the people of Somia, who among you would take front leads?" The Death lord asked knowing well none of them will answer him. If not that this men were governors already during his late father's regime, he'd have replaced them as they were all useless and incapable of handling the position they were given.He could still remove them but he'd consider the achievement by them in the past.It was only the prime min
While Ella mopped the floor in the Death lord room, she couldn't help but think he was avoiding her. He hadn't said anything to her since she came in and while she greeted and thanked him for last night, he said nothing to her.She sneakily glanced at him while the chief of maids washed his foot. She wondered why his silence affected her a lot, she didn't like it at all.Once the chief of maids left the Death lord room, Ella decided to speak to him. "You been quiet since morning, is something bothering you that we can talk about?" She asked the Death lord although she was nervous within her."No." Came his simple reply."Okay, then why haven't you said anything since morning?" She asked him not believing what he just said.The Death lord kept quiet, he didn't feel the need to answer her questions considering she was the one that put him in this sour mood."Are you still an
"Do you hate me?" The Death lord asked Ella out of he blue. She wondered why he asked her a question like that."We are already pass that, aren't we?" She retorted."Then are you irritated by me?" He askes her. He wanted to know why the thought of them sleeping together or making love as he'd prefer it irritated her."No! Why are you asking weird questions like this!" Ella sighed. The Death lord was starting to confuse her.The Death lord never believed in fairy tales neither did he believe that love could make a man meek. Although he acted tough and fierce with every other person in this world, with Ella he was a different human being. Whenever he spoke to her, he always made sure to say words that won't hurt her feelings, he puts her first always.He was slowly falling in love with Ella and hearing that she was irritated by what people said about them together hurt him.
"This is wrong!" Ella saied. She turned around to back Francis. She remembered the kiss they shared earlier, she loved it yet she hated it. If she hadn't snapped out of it, she would have given herself to him.She had gotten to confirm what the other women all spoke about, the Death lord had his ways of making ladies squirm around him."This is right," The Death lord said."No. It's wrong," Ella retorted."What makes you say think so?" Francis asked. He turned Ella around so both of them would be looking at one another. "Tell me that kiss meant nothing to you, tell me you felt nothing from that kiss, tell me you didn't like it at all," Francis said, his eyes never leaving Ella's for once.Ella's heart begam to beat faster once again, she felt shivers from Francis touch. She couldn't look him in the eyes to tell him she didn't like it.As much as she'd love to deny it, she
"I shall announce the final verdict.The eleven governor are to be killed by three o'clock pm which is less than two hours from now." The wives and children of the eleven governnors gasp. They knew their father and husbands wouldn't survive but yet, they wished they would."My Lord please forgive us!" The governor's begged but their cries were not heard."Take them to the blue garden and tie then to the log until the time for their death reaches," The Death lord ordered."Yes my Lord!" The men said, dragging the eleven governnors off of their feet to the blue garden.The crowd dispersed, while the wives and children's of the eleventh governors wiped.
Just as Diana was about to walk away leaving the Governor to die, he grabbed her legs with his hands, refusing to let her go. "You sneaky little bastard! I am not going to let you go." He spat out. "I won't..." He choked. "Still as persistent and stupid as always, aren't we?" She scoffed. She pulled her legs off his hold and kicked him one more time. "Bastard!" "I won't let you die slowly, I will let you die once and for all." She said. She used her legs and kicked him so hard. She shot him him constantly until she saw he wasn't moving no more. "Bastard!" She spat out. She spat on him before kicking him again. She left his room to go fulfil her other duties. The death Lord had already assembled his men. While some went to Raffan to attack, the others stayed behind to fight the armies of Raffan and Levine. The Death Lord had confident in Diana and Dennis to kill the people of Levine. He was going to let the king of Levine and th
Dennis informed Diana of what the Death Lord had asked her to do. She secretly entered the governor's room.He was shocked to see her in his room while he was getting dressed for the war ahead. "What are you doing here!" He pointed his index finger and Diana who didn't seem faze by his action."How dare you come into my room without fear!" He asked with anger but Diana shrug then smirked agitating him."I am not the Prime minister and I will kill you if you do not leave before..." Diana clapped her hands as she took slow steps towards him."And what would you do?" She asked with a questioning brows. "Do you think I care or do you think I'm scared of you?" Diana asked him.She scoffed then she
All the officials of Levine awaited for the King's presence as they dressed in their fighting attire. The people of Levine also gathered round waiting for the King to come.They were all shocked when they found out the Prime minister was striped off his title because he wasn't worthy of it. Many in Levine feared and respected the Prime minister for his ultimate strength.He was known to be one of the greatest achievers in Levine, his defeat made they wonder how he was easily taken down. The drum sound got the people to stand up and bow their head upon the arrival of the King.Nobody knew what the King had in mind or how he planned on executing his officials unworthy of their title."Welcome great people of Levine. Today you shall be free of the useless control of your unworthy officials." The King said. He was still pained by the fact that a woman took down his prime minister.He didn't wa
Ella wrapped her arms around Francis from behind. She felt a huge relieve on her shoulder from his warm scent. Francis smiled once he saw her arms wrapped around his."Did you just wake up?" He asked her and she nodded her head, not letting go of his waist."How was your night?" She asked him."Didn't have enough sleep but I slept fine." He replied her. For three days now, she slept with Amelia in the room because Amelia felt neglected.Although Francis was reluctant about her leaving and staying with Amelia, he had to give in. The past few days has been really stressful. He had been preparing for the war against the kingdom of Raffan but haven't taken any step as he awaited his spies to give him information first.
Once the Cave Lord left, the King asked the general to gather his officials in the court room. It was time to take the final step and prepare for battle.The Officials all got the message and had all gathered in the court room. They wondered why the King urgently needed them and what he had to tell them.While they waited for the King, they asked one another if they had any clue but it seems asides the general, no one knew what was going on.Just then Diana came into the court room, taking one step after the other, not bothering to hurry and line up. The Prime minister frowned, he despised her presence so much he wished he could kill her.The humiliation he got from her two days ago still haunted him that he had to drink himself to sleep or else he wo
The Prime minister of Raffan informed the Cave Lord of the request by the King of Levine. The Cave Lord wasn't one to leave the Kingdom, instead people came to meet him in his kingdom instead.Considering the situation on ground, he decided to go to Levine to talk with the King to come into conclusions soon.Now that the Death Lord knew where his kingdom was, he was sure he'd come soon for him.After preparing for the journey, the Cave Lord put the General in charge while he went to the Kingdom of Levine with the Prime minister.The King of Levine had already told his servant to prepare a big feast as they waited for the Cave Lord. The thought of two powerful kingdom merging to become one so as to be able to defeat Narlands made the King happy.
The General told the Prime minister of Raffan to wait while he went to call the king.Once he entered the King's room, he bowed his head. "My king, it appears we have a kingdoms with the same interest as ours. A man from the kingdoms who had managed to shoot the Death lord with a poisonous bullet is here," The General said to the king.The king raised his brows in a questioning manner. "Hmm, I thought that kingdoms was fallen?" The King asked."It appears there is more than meet the eyes. The man awaits you in the court room," The General said."I will be there in a jiffy," the king responded. The General bowed his head before leaving the king's premises.Both the General and the P
Both men felt insulted and at the same time they were slightly threatened by her words. "You bitch!" The prime minister spoke and Diana scoffed."Call me that one more time and I promise to choke you here and now!" She shouted. She wasn't one of patience and if there was one thing she hated, that would be to be approached by people who she felt didn't worth her time.The Prime minster smirked. "I want to see you try bitch!" He spat out and in a nanosecond, Diana palm flew across his cheek. The sounding slap of Diana made the governor gasp in surprise."How dare you!" The governor said. Diana pointed her fingers at him, dangerously walking towards him. "Interfere and be slapped!" She spat out."Are you actually threatening me?" The Governor asked. Just
The officials on Levine were all present in the court room including Diana who was the newly appointed commander.They were all summoned by the king for an emergency. After some minutes of silence, the king spoke."Diana who is our newly appointed commander and the woman to lead the upcoming battle has revealed a very important secret of the people of Narlands," the king said.The officials all looked at one another before looking back at the king. "My Lord, if you do not mind me asking, what is that secret?" The chief of armoury asked."The Death lord true weakness is the secret," the king said and the officials gasped. They shook they head in amazement as they smiled."I am so eager to know
